Matt and Melanie Capobianco traveled to Oklahoma from South Carolina hoping to see 3-year-old Veronica. The girl has been at the center of an adoption dispute involving the couple and her biological father, Dusten Brown, who is a member of the Cherokee Nation.

South Carolina authorities have charged Brown with custodial interference in the case.

Fallin said the couple have a right to meet with Veronica and a right to seek a compromise with Brown.

The Capobianco family issued a statement Wednesday:

"As legal discussions between our attorneys continue regarding physical custody of our daughter, we have not yet seen her nor have we been informed of her whereabouts. Although we have not personally heard from Dusten, we plan to continue pursuing the option of facilitation aside from ongoing legal actions. We are extremely grateful for Governor Fallin's concern regarding this matter and remain hopeful that we will see Veronica today."

The governor says if Brown is unwilling to cooperate, she can send him to South Carolina to face the charge.
